Your contribution to a safe university sports community
The safety and well-being of all members of our university sports community is important to us. We strongly encourage all participants to take an active role and inform us of any incidents.
Show strength against any form of sexualized discrimination in the context of our university sports! Regardless of whether it concerns superiors, supervisors, teachers, colleagues, fellow students or trainers.
A clear "NO" means "NO"! Clearly indicate to the harassing person or persons that their behavior is unwelcome!
Document the incidents and make a note of the contact details of any witnesses. Finding evidence of sexualized discrimination or violence can often be challenging, especially when it comes to a "statement against statement" situation. It is therefore advisable to record the date, time, place and nature of the harassment. You should also document in writing any measures you may have already taken to defend yourself, as well as saving any harassing emails or text messages.
Don't go through this challenge alone! Share your concerns with people you trust and seek support from the relevant contact persons in University Sport. Your matter will be treated confidentially and you will receive help with further steps and discussions. We are committed to providing a respectful and safe environment within University Sport and your involvement is crucial to our shared success.Worth knowing
Forms of sexualized discrimination include, for example
- Suggestive, ambiguous or derogatory remarks
- Intrusive looks
- Sexist remarks or jokes
- Harassment via telephone, email or WhatsApp
- Whistling at you
- Unnecessary approaching, unwanted physical contact
- Unwanted invitations with clear intentions
- Obscene signs or gestures
The term sexualized is increasingly gaining acceptance as a scientific term. It is intended to make it clear that harassment or discrimination is used as a demonstration of power and superiority, in which sexual statements or actions are used as a means of demonstrating this.
We receive all reports confidentially and ensure that the privacy of those involved is protected as far as legally possible.
